From the client machine with the browser, can you:

1. Ping the proxy server (ie make sure there's no routing issues).
2. Telnet to the proxy server on the relevant port, get a reply and
        GET http://google.com/ HTTP/1.0
   (make sure a firewall isn't blocking connections).

and if you like:

3. Run "tcpdump -i <interface> tcp host <clientip>" on the proxy server
   to see what network conversation the proxy server has with the client.
   As with [2], no packets probably indicates a firewall blocking
   the path.
